iTunes User Sues Apple For Monopolistic Practices
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 02:16 PM
"Thomas Slattery of California has sued Apple Computer for engaging in monopolistic practices. Slattery was apparently displeased when he learned that music purchases from the iTunes Music Store could only be played back using iTunes and Apple's portable iPod line of players."
We knew this had to happen sooner or later. First Microsoft accused Apple of engaging in monolistic practices by locking users into its home brew music service and audio player, and now users themselves are starting to sit up and take notice. Though I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to be the shadow behind this lawsuit. :onfire:
